Vaccination with coxsackievirus B3 virus-like particles elicits humoral immune response and protects mice against myocarditis

Highlights ► CVB3 capsid proteins expressed in insect cells were able to assemble into VLP. ► The CVB3 VLP was non-infectious in tissue culture. ► SWR (H-2q ) mice vaccinated with CVB3 VLP developed antibodies to CVB3 capsid proteins. ► Vaccinated animals were protected from myocarditis when challen...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► CVB3 capsid proteins expressed in insect cells were able to assemble into VLP. ► The CVB3 VLP was non-infectious in tissue culture. ► SWR (H-2q ) mice vaccinated with CVB3 VLP developed antibodies to CVB3 capsid proteins. ► Vaccinated animals were protected from myocarditis when challenged with wild-type CVB3. ► VLP produced from the complete CVB3 coding region gave optimal immune response and protection.
